Installing or Upgrading Novell eDirectory on Solaris 89novdocx (en) 22 June 2009NOTE: The HTML files created using iMonitor will not be removed. You must manually removethese files from /var/opt/novell/eDirectory/data/dsreports before removing eDirectory.For example, to remove the eDirectory Server object and directory services from a tree, you couldenter the following command:ndsconfig rm -a cn=admin.o=companyndsconfig Utility ParametersRefer to “ndsconfig Utility Parameters” on page 64 for more information.4.6.7 Using ndsconfig to Configure Multiple Instances ofeDirectory 8.8You can configure multiple instances of eDirectory 8.8 on a single host. For information on multipleinstances, refer to Section 3.6.5, “Using ndsconfig to Configure Multiple Instances of eDirectory8.8,” on page 67 in the Linux chapter.4.6.8 Using Ndsconfig to Install a Solaris Server into a Treewith Dotted Name ContainersYou can use ndsconfig to install a Solaris server into an eDirectory tree that has containers usingdotted names (for example, novell.com).Because ndsconfig is a command line utility, using containers with dotted names requires that thosedots be escaped out, and the parameters containing these contexts must be enclosed in doublequotes. For example, to install a new eDirectory tree on a Solaris server using “O=novell.com” asthe name of the O, use the following command:ndsconfig new -a “admin.novell\.com” -t novell_tree -n“OU=servers.O=novell\.com”The Admin name and context and the server context parameters are enclosed in double quotes, andonly the dot (‘.’) in novell.com is escaped using the ‘\’ (backslash) character.You can also use this format when installing a server into an existing tree.NOTE: You should use this format when entering dotted admin name and context while usingutilities such as ndsrepair, ndsbackup, ndsmerge, ndslogin, and ldapconfig.4.6.9 Using the Nmasinst Utility to Configure NMASFor eDirectory 8.8, by default, ndsconfig configures NMAS. You can also use nmasinst on Linux,Solaris, and AIX systems to configure NMAS.ndsconfig only configures NMAS and does not install the login methods. To install these loginmethods, you can use nmasinst.
